Apparently his next fight is for the European light heavyweight title, and after that he wants cloud later in the year.

Bunce also said Cleverly has sparred over 500 rounds with joe calzaghe.



At first i thought this was nonsense, then i looked at the rankings

CHAMPION : Tavoris Cloud United States
1 NOT RATED
2 NOT RATED
3 Nathan Cleverly Wales
4 Danny Green Australia
5 Antonio Tarver United States


So it is feasable then

yeah Cleverly fights for the European title next year in Italy.

The only thing going against him at the minute could be his power, but he seems to be working on that.

I rate him very highly.

i have high hopes for nathan but he is still very young i know they cant protect him all the time but i think another year on the european and domestic sceen wouldnt be bad for the lad

I still haven't watched him but he better be good if he's going to be challenging Tavoris Cloud after his European belt fight.

I recommend you watch his fight against Danny McIntosh.

the 1st time I have ever seen Cleverly totally up for a war.

I'd love to see this fight happen this year, Cleverly is still very young though so maybe giving him another year and about 3 more fights first on European level.

He should fight Glen Johnson first.

It'll help get his name out there, and tell us if he's ready.

Cloud is a bit like Johnson, only he's quite a bit better due to hitting harder, throwing more punches and having more speed.

I don't think Cleverley would beat Cloud, but it's good to see him eyeing the top guys in the division rather than the weakest champion.

He needs to do it on the European stage first before going after a world title.

I have not seen Cleverly yet but I seems to me that Cloud thinks somehow without much of a fanbase that he is a big star and only wants big fights......once a year.

Fair play.

I think Cleverly is going about it the right way. He is a clever man. He should pursue the hardest fights he can, the earliest he can. If he turns out to not be quite world-class he can give it up and put his mathematics degree to use.

He's not going to be in the game too long, I feel.

i am big a fan of both fighters.

nathan is still young and needs to get this european title and get a few more wins under his belt. cloud would a bit too soon for him.

cloud i think should face pascal. i have him beating him and is a good win under his belt. failing that he can wait for Dawson for the trickiest fight in the division.

He could fight at Euro level for a good 10years and make a decent living.

Seems to be doing alright right now. I see a BMW convertible outside his dads house.

Depends if he stays in love with boxing long enough to hang around for many years if he doesn't quite reach the world class level.

Yes somebody should post that fight, Megaupload or Rapidshare (Hint Hint)

Cleverly is a great prospect and one of my top 5 faves at the moment
